Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data-driven decision making are booming in all sectors, and pig production makes no exception. In this fast-evolving landscape there is a need to assess which areas would benefit the most from AI and have an impact on productivity and sustainability of the Canadian swine industry. There is also a need to […]

Chemotherapy uses drugs to treat cancer, but often causes significant side effects as the drug can spread throughout the body and affect healthy tissues as well. These side effects can be reduced by capturing drugs into nanoparticles such as liposomes that can enter tumors directly, but are too large to accumulate in healthy tissues. However, […]

Breast cancer treatment often involves surgery, which can lead to post-operative discomfort and challenges in physical mobility. Previous research has identified the potential impact of post-surgical undergarments on the quality of life and recovery process. As part of our commitment to enhancing post-operative care, the research team have developed a specialized surgical bra aimed at […]

In dairy cows, future generations are created by embryo transfer techniques, which entail a superovulation treatment followed by fertilization in the field or in the laboratory. Due to enormous pressure exerted by breeders, cows are now superovulated very young, even before puberty and thereafter are superovulated routinely. Despite improvements in this technique, there is still […]

THIS IS A GENERIC TEXT PUT IN PLACE AS THERE WAS NO PROJECT OVERVIEW

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are expected to carry out tasks of increased complexity, expanding in indoor environments such as warehouses and healthcare settings. However, indoor environments impose unique challenges to UAVs as the enclosed space is relatively small and safety is crucial for people working in the same space. Furthermore, the unavailability of GPS leads […]

The overall objective of this project is to reduce ergonomic risk and the potential for workplace injury across the entire production facility. Repetition, force and posture are factors that can lead to fatigue and injury among workers in a manufacturing setting. By developing an ergonomic demands and risk assessment tool based on current research, the […]

The Ontario Structured Psychotherapy program (OSP) provides centralized access to mental health services and was developed as a stepped-care model, which allows clients to be matched to the appropriate level of service for them. However, resources are limited for in-depth analysis and the experiences of clients and clinicians remain relatively unknown in these early stages. […]

British Columbia’s Fraser Health Authority (FHA) faces challenges of lacking linkages to provincial administrative data to monitor long-term outcomes among their OAT clients. This one-year Mitacs Accelerate initiative will be undertaken in collaboration with FHA using both provincial administrative data held by the trainee’s supervisor and FHA’s summarized statistics data to characterize the client base […]

Friedreich is an hereditary disease, which in due to a mutation of the frataxin gene. This mutation leads to a reduced production of the frataxin protein. This leads to oxidative stress and death of the cells. The death of the neurons and cardiomyocytes are responsible for progressive severe neurological and cardiac symptoms. The aim of […]
